hi arnt you suppose to keep your arms straight without locking your elbows throughout the movement , instead you start the concentric part of the movement in the fly position and then press the dumbbells up , i like your videos and not questioning your ability , just curious as to why you perform the exercise like this.
@dam0666damian Yes, this is called a "modified fly" and is done this way for more effective range and plane of motion activation and far less joint stress. I would seldom if ever advocate the straight arms version.
But in a seated positon and a horiztonal axis plane, like in a seated fly machine, the straight arm version could be used
ok i get ya, i can see how it could take the stress off of the shoulder joint , think i will stick with the straight arm tho as i feel it works better for me , nice vids tho
DB do not go below parallel? I thought elbows do not go below parallel (cause of potential shoulder injuries)?!
